TREATMENT: Dermalogica BioSurface Peel
WHY SHOULD I GET IT?
If a luminous complexion and even skin tone are at the top of your wish list, make an appointment for the Dermalogica BioSurface Peel ASAP. It’s not your regular chemical peel – it requires absolutely no downtime, so you can forget about having to take time off work or spend the weekend holed up indoors! For best results, Dermalogica recommends having a course of four to six treatments. Treatments can be performed on a weekly basis.
HOW MUCH IS IT?
$185 for one hour (includes the BioSurface Peel three-day aftercare kit, valued at $26.50) or $925 for a course of six treatments.

TREATMENT: Elemis Visible Brilliance Facial
WHY SHOULD I GET IT?
If you live in Melbourne (or are planning a trip) and your skin could do with a little tune-up, book in for this anti-ageing facial at the Botanica Day Spa. The face and eye treatment helps to instantly firm, rejuvenate and plump skin while helping to reduce dark circles. The therapist will use a massage technique with Elemis products and a two-phase amino active mask to leave you with smoother, more radiant skin. Yes, please!
HOW MUCH IS IT?
$160 for 75 minutes

TREATMENT: Thalgo iBeauty
WHY SHOULD I GET IT?
When your skin feels and looks congested, it’s probably harbouring a whole lot of pore-clogging grime, meaning your skin care products can’t penetrate properly. Clear the congestion and boost your complexion with the Thalgo iBeauty treatment. It involves a therapist doing a peel to cleanse and exfoliate, followed by a pressure massage on the face to promote tissue drainage. A machine then infuses hydrating products into the skin, and then uses radio frequency to smooth and plump lines and lift facial contours.
HOW MUCH IS IT?
Cost ranges from $60 to $90
